The Perfectionist Is Listening
The Perfectionist is Listening

the rich are committing suicide
and taking us with them
the prosthetic limbed bastards
Fort Darwin tottering on fewer stilts
once the masters of the universe
presently picking through garbage
looking for an Icarus to pilot
some way back among the clouds
their telepathic goon squads 
armed with the hard...

Premium Member Jesus Told Me
Jesus taught and lived
Those who follow the Way
Truth
Life, rather than punishing death,
would be known
by our love,
especially for our enemies.

He did not say, or live,
Those who punish themselves and others with death threats
and war planning
and technology design
and nihilistic absence of healthy purpose
would be TruthLivers
known as restorative...

Premium Member Bildungsroman
"Bildungsroman" 

childish things 
become children
the sweetness 
leaves them 
when the dream
in reality leaves them
to walk hand in hand
with the nightmare
of what becomes 
us as adults

protagonists are 
sometimes heroes
sometimes villains
inside us all dwells
a versatile shadow

we save ourselves
by extracting 
the unwanted
familial 
in our marrow

antagonists 
challenge the 
villain...

Premium Member Caregivers Among Us
To receive care
that best meets your needs,
and also,
by the way,
everyone else's too,
we look first
to where and when we have given such care
since our original longest reborn journey
down Mom's birth canal,
prepared just in time for our delivery,
as traumatic as that must have been,
life's first lesson in...

Wealth Care For the Rich, Others Not
"The Senate bill, unveiled today, is not a health care bill.
It’s a massive transfer of wealth from middle-class 
and poor families to the richest people in America. 
It hands enormous tax cuts to the rich 
(My entry: Donald Trump will pocket over $600 thousand!!! personally)
and...

FOES AND FRIENDS (D’SCRIPT)


It all happened so sudden and so perfect
Just like a script, no single line was missed
Just like a stage, everybody played their own part
It was a free role; everybody was free to play their best part
To the best of profession; the drama...

Pushing and Pulling
The heart is autogenic and depolarizes no less
But it can be influenced by the ANS.
Autogenic means leaky channels
And within the channel annals,
This means changes in membrane potential
And for the heart, are is essential.

The sympathetic speeds it up and the parasympathetic, it slows.
And both the sympathetic...

Paraclete
I feel him there all day and night.
In my dreams, he speaks to me and makes my burden light.

His voice is like a soft and beautiful cymbal.
His turn of phrase makes my heart quick and my mind nimble.

His righteous utterance of confidence during the day,(sigh)...

Premium Member Unconditional Love
What condition is my condition in?
said Yang to Yin.

Unconditional love of enemies,
antagonists,
annoying pests with deploying ideas 
of their own
about how I should be 
and could become right now,
requires more than non-violent listening,
although this is a good start,
sang Yin to Yang,
listening for bully syntax and boorish...

August Alliteration
After July abdicates, august August arrives,
and the year advances, as annually agreed. 
After assessing alternative alternatives and accords,
as anticipated, no other affirmative alternative is advanced. 
Actually August is always an annual actuality, affably accepted
as amicable and always awaited ardently, as July avidly absconds!
Anxiously active actions...

Neckbeard Warrior, Part Two
One particularly memorable critic referred to me as a neckbeard in a conversation with a friend this morning. Both of the twats were skinny, pencil-head net-dweebs, the types who frequent cesspools such as reddit.com or 4chan.org. I observed that both geeks were clad in t-shirts...

Why Stopping To Speak the Truths
Why stopping to speak the truths? 
Where there is ignorance 
of the true word of God, 
there is all sorts of evil.

Why stopping to speak the truths? 
People  who really know true God,
 are  not:
unjust, 
          tribalist, 
                        racists, 
                                 discriminators, 
Heartless, 
               Killers, 
                        Robbers,...

Premium Member I Did It My Way
People see reporters as antagonists
Always seeking the “Dirty Laundry”
But I assure you a different type exists
My tactics left others in a quandary

For I’d found a way to “catch more flies”
By approaching with a gentler demeanor
I often saw others not as foes, but allies
As I sought...

Premium Member Heroes and Villains
Everyone's great cause
projects them as our future's therapeutic hero.
So all against our health-intending causes
reject us as potential victimizers,
ostracizers,
impeachers,
disenfranchisers,
excommunicators,
criminalizers.

The trick is to see antagonists,
sources of trauma,
as part of protagonist causes you,
resource for therapy,
actively seeking out each other
as possible co-redeemer heroes
resolving differences together,
with good faith
in divinely interrelated...

Premium Member Telling Stories
While there is no story at all
unless it has at least two sides,
when it comes to ego's narrative lines
and epic paragraphs,
we have great difficulty in casting ourselves
as other than a one-sided protagonist story,
which others might see as including too much self-indulgent glory.
